Sunday Morning with Jamus Redd

The passage from Judges 6:36-7:7 illustrates the Israelites' struggle under Midianite oppression and their subsequent cry for help to God. The Midianites, Amalekites, and other eastern peoples ravaged the Israelites' crops and livestock, leading to a dire situation where the Israelites were forced to hide in mountains and caves. God sent a prophet to remind the Israelites of His past deliverances and their current disobedience, urging them to worship Him and not other gods. The Israelites' failure to heed the prophet's message led to their continued oppression by the Midianites. The passage emphasizes the importance of repentance and the role of God in delivering His people from their troubles.
